Take Care of your Smile
We all like to smile when something makes us happy, when we greet a loved one or for almost any reason. Here are some tips on taking care of your smile. Have a dental checkup twice a year and for at home care, brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush and use fluoride toothpaste. Flossing is also very important; in addition to flossing around porcelain crowns Santa Ana also recommend using small bottle brushes that can fit in between the spaces of teeth.
Be aware of what you eat and drink, as the sugar found in soda and juice feeds the bacteria in your mouth that in turn excrete substances that break down tooth enamel. South Coast Metro cosmetic dentists recommend eating lots of vegetables, drinking plenty of water instead of soda or juice and brushing daily. Recent studies have shown some heart attack patients also have gum disease that has progressed to the bone. A direct correlation between the amount of plaque on the teeth and the amount of plaque in the arteries has been found to have been a contributed factor of some causes for heart attacks.
Follow your dentist’s orders for taking care of your dental implants. For the first few days don’t brush but do use the special mouth wash your dentist provided. South Coast Metro dental implants are recommended as a permanent solution for teeth replacement. Try to use a small tooth brush to clean the prosthetic implant abutments that are used to secure the implant to the jaw bone. Floss your dental implants regularly, especially behind the abutments, using a tooth brush with a bent handle for greater reach. Also floss the dental implants on the front and on the back. You may need to schedule additional cleanings to keep your dental implants in the best shape.
